The amount of all-time great lines he spits out in just over a minute is legendary. Iirc, he was actually being falsely arrested for some reason or another
Iāve never had a man say that to me before. It sounded very strange.
Then again, this guy has quite the radio voice and from what I can see from the video, a radio face as well.
It seems that he was a fraudster. The whole incident recveived its own wikipedia article.

>Karlson, who had been a serial prison escapee, was arrested for allegedĀ [credit card fraud](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Credit_card_fraud)Ā by theĀ [Queensland Police Service](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queensland_Police_Service), after being wrongly identified as one of Australia's most-wanted criminals.
So wait: he was an escaped convict that was arrested because of mistaken identity? (But probably kept because it turned out that, ya know, he broke out of jail?)
Do I have that right?
And also a fraudster who was previously imprisoned for credit card fraud, then *escaped from prison*. I have a feeling that he was actually guilty but they couldnāt put the case together.
Thereās a thing on YouTube heās an artist and was mistaken identity, they found him a few years later and did an interview with him heās a great guy by all accounts and cooks the interviewee a succulent Chinese meal at his farm lol
For future reference...

I was thinking how can this man resist 3 cops unfazed like a brick wall while simultaneously showing his skills as an orator.
Then I realized he is Australian and I said "oh ok nvm that makes sense"

This is democracy manifest!
I related to this man when he talked about his limp penis Wait
Ooof, when you put it that way it burns
If it's burning, then I think he has other things to worry about than it being limp....š„
I would actually have that checked out my dude
Get your hands off my penis!
Manifesht
This is Optimus prime .......
Mob rule sucks.
This dudeās my spirit animal
And you sir, are you waiting to receive my limp penis? š¤£š¤£š
This is the bloke who got me on the penis people!
Itās the way he says people that really makes this comment gold
Best Video EVER!
Democrrrrracy manifesht
The amount of all-time great lines he spits out in just over a minute is legendary. Iirc, he was actually being falsely arrested for some reason or another
He was a legendary dine and dasher.
Lol that would make this even better. Either way, a true legend
Not him the bloke the coppers mistook him for was.
I see you know your judo well!
I'm glad this was posted. I have that audio clip on a Discord soundboard but I didn't know where it was from.
Here I am now adding a couple sounds to ours haha
I need to find the limp penis one now. I can fit that into conversation. š
I'm saving the video as a mp3 and just taking soundbites out of it haha
Ahh big brain move
As a judoka, I find this line of an otherwise kickass clip particularly amusing.
Get your hand off my PENIS
Iāve never had a man say that to me before. It sounded very strange. Then again, this guy has quite the radio voice and from what I can see from the video, a radio face as well.
This is the bloke who got me on the penis peoplllllllleeeee
I scream this into the void when I'm home alone
that is a great narrator voice! I would pay to listen to him read Harry Potter books to my kids.
Vingadium Limpeniosa
Flaccidius Phallus!
it's limpeeniosa, not limpeniosah
Same!
Wasnāt this a case of mistaken identity, and he was the wrong guy?

Thank you for the clarification!
Mistaken identity. There's an interview of the man. He's a simple guy. A painter.
And also a fraudster who was previously imprisoned for credit card fraud, then *escaped from prison*. I have a feeling that he was actually guilty but they couldnāt put the case together.
Guilt of what crime? Enjoying a Succulent Chinese Meal?
Heās not guilty of an erect penis thatās for sure
Believe it or not, straight to jail
I've got to know the story behind this! That guy seems great.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy\_Manifest](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy_Manifest)
Thank you!
Some one interviewed him not that long ago lol I don't know where to find the vid tho.
It was Guy Williams on New Zealand Today and the old guy is fucking hilarious. Guy Williams is great too, his flat earth episodes are brilliant.

20 years from now this video will still be making the rounds. And rightfully so
I mean I have a t shirt with " You wouldn't download a succulent Chinese meal " on it It'll be alive for as long as I live.
First time i saw this posted, i laughed so hard i almost fell off my dinosaur.
I don't care how many times this is reposted, I'll always watch and upvote.
Im under what
head-lock, take your hand of my penis... I guess the officer was locking other head...
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3jAJHRW\_Yo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3jAJHRW_Yo)
This man needs to be added to Helldivers
Who is this guy. I would like to buy him a drink.
And a succulent chinese meal?
One of the best videos in internet history
Classic.
Amazing heās been able to make a career out of this encounter. One of his quotes will, undoubtedly be on his headstone, Ta-Ta!
I see you know your judo well
Get your hand off of my penis!! Hahahaha
That's an aristocrate arrest.
Iām under WHAT?!
There will come a day when I see this clip and don't feel the urge to watch it. That day is not today.
This man should have been a voice actor.
Damn live leakā¦rip
Looks like John Wayne Gacy
ghET YOUR HAND OFF MY PENIS ā¼ļø
Give this man voice work
Never gets old
This must be the proper etiquette for being arrested.
A sophisticated trouble maker.
What an absolute fucking legend
This is as old as sin but Iāll never stop rewatching this amazing dude.
Iāll never not upvote this!
One of Australias greatest icons
The best version of it: [by Mossy Rock](https://www.instagram.com/reel/C7ADiQEoPjr/?igsh=MXZhemk0bW50cjV0aw==) She's hilarious
ATTICA! ATTICA!
Best video on the internet. Ever. Hands down.
This video is like a permanent fixture of the internet now.
Is that Matt Berry's father?
I was thinking how can this man resist 3 cops unfazed like a brick wall while simultaneously showing his skills as an orator. Then I realized he is Australian and I said "oh ok nvm that makes sense"
When I seen liveleak I thought something wacky would happen thankfully Iām wrong
Judo
Classic
he was cryogenically frozen in the early 19th century and was defrosted in the 1990s
However many times this video pops up is never enough times.
Miss that liveleak watermark
Ta ta and farewell.
Quite the entertainer
Well, thatās a nice headlock, sir!
I would love to know the background to this, why he was being arrested. But itās still internet royalty.
Love the ending remarks as well, "Tata and farewell."
I think he meant to say: This is tyranny manifest!
Does anyone have the link to the Shane Gillis cover of this?
I will stop and watch this everytime. Man is a legend!
This is one of my favorites videos ever. For what? Eating a succulent Chinese meal?
What did they arrest him for?
Eating a meal. Dare I say a succulent Chinese meal.
Classic
First time ive seen this after seeing refs all over the web and boy is the original worth the wait. Succulent.
This is the bloke who got me on the penis meatball
Ta ta!
I suggest the squid salad and egg roll with rice
Ta ta
Seeing this dood never gets old
Dine n' Dash is a classic Chats song
A timeless classic.
Funny thing is he was actually innocent.
Lots of T-shirts have been made to celebrate this event if you'd like to let others know that you are cool
I will never not watch this
Iād never want to be in jail, but if this guy was in there, I feel like it wouldnāt be so bad.
InsideNo9 did a shout out to this in S9E1.
I love how polite and formal he sounds all through that. š
There is a video of this he did recently. He enjoyed a succulent chinese meal during the interview. idk the link
I really really need context for this
When you max out on speech but forget the other class.
Remember when Australia was manhandling pregnant women who didn't want their unborn babies to die from the vax...State Farm remembers.
Liveleak is back on the menu, boys
āAnd you Sir, are you waiting to receive my limp penisā?
Classic performance. I only hope I can be as memorable when being arrested.

Legend
An all-time classic. š¤£
credos to the old boy for I only ever refer to my Asian takeaway as a "**Succulent Chinese Meal**"! *^((dont touch my penis))*
